Ratings and reviews

Very basic app with surprisingly little content. Good to have the local weather videos. As a publisher they should (but don't) set the do not track tag when referring the user to Twitter et al videos, because even if you have an account it's difficult to enforce your privacy settings through the browser embedded in this app. Update: In the years since I wrote that there was little content it has dwindled further, to the point there are only a few stories that haven't been there for a week.

Installed as there is no longer a local news feed on TV at 4am when I get up for work (who needs hours of relaxing music when getting up for work at that time in the morning?! I want to know what's happened locally overnight). Anyway, I digress. Typed in my local area to be told it couldn't be found. I then tried the area which borders mine - same result. Closest I could get was the Borders - a 4-hour drive from my area so not exactly local in my eyes! Uninstalled. Useless.

Very slow to update then if top story is a video immediately plays it usually accompanied by loud music. Very annoying. It's up to user when video plays not some app developer. A lot of the stories are old.
